    November 10, 2014 - Was afraid this might be too young but it's in a good place place with plenty of stuffing for the long haul. Wonderful nose full of dark fruit and a touch of alcohol, great mouthfeel and balance with blackberry fruit, violets (?), slightly grippy tannins (in a good way) and a clean, balanced, long (60 second) acid laced (not fat) finish. My first of a six pack, it will be interesting to see how this develops over the next 10-15 years.
